Methods CNC Machines

Methods Machine Tools has been a leader in CNC technology, automation, and precision manufacturing solutions since 1958.

In addition to representing world class machine tool builders including Nakamura Tome, FANUC, Yasda, OKK, KIWA, and Weiler, Methods designs and delivers its own line of CNC machines engineered for reliability, flexibility, and long-term performance.

Methods branded CNC machines are built to meet real world production demands across job shops, contract manufacturers, and industrial production environments.

These platforms emphasize accuracy, durability, and automation readiness while remaining accessible and serviceable.

Every Methods machine is backed by nationwide service coverage, application engineering support, and deep process expertise.

Explore our full lineup of CNC Machines.

Why Manufacturers Choose Methods Machines

Methods machines are engineered to bridge the gap between performance, value, and long term support. They are designed for manufacturers who need dependable machining capability without unnecessary complexity.

Every Methods machine is specified and validated using the same performance criteria applied to the premium global builders Methods represents. Structural components, motion systems, and spindles are selected to deliver consistent accuracy, rigidity, and service life.

Methods machines are equipped with proven CNC control platforms that offer intuitive operation, broad CAM compatibility, and long term parts availability. This simplifies programming, reduces operator training time, and allows easy integration into mixed machine environments.

These machines are built to handle the realities of daily manufacturing, including frequent changeovers, multi shift operation, and varying material requirements. Their design prioritizes uptime, serviceability, and predictable performance.

Unlike many value focused machine brands, Methods machines are supported by a nationwide network of applications engineers, service technicians, and spare parts inventory. This ensures long term support well beyond installation.
